What guests think

At Ensana Grand Margaret Island, guests consistently praise the tranquil island setting and standout thermal spa access, alongside spacious, classic rooms and generally friendly service, making it a relaxing base within easy reach of Budapest’s sights.

Breakfast is frequently highlighted as good to excellent. Common drawbacks include some dated areas and weak or noisy air conditioning, limited or closed on-site bars/restaurants, and occasional lapses in housekeeping or staff responsiveness. The peaceful island location is not central, so buses or taxis are often needed, especially late at night. Expect a calm, spa-focused stay with classic charm.

Everything except only the parking wasn't excellent. The marked spaces are way to narrow for the rather wide (SUV) cars. Finally, I learned about the garage with wide slots, for extra money, but worth the peace of mind. Expedia made a horrible mistake, when confirmed my reservation. Added beside my name, whole Credit card number, the security code too. I had to get a new card number.

Insgesamt ein schönes, großes und beeindruckendes Hotel. Wir hatten ein Zimmer in der oberen Etage, das sehr geräumig war. Frühstück immer gut gefüllt und absolut ausreichend. Personal sehr freundlich. Perfekte Anbindung zur Stadt, Bus bis fast vor dem Hotel (26 - bis direkt vor das Einkaufszentrum Westend). Spa Bereich im benachbarten Hotel (Ensana Thermal) doch schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen, es riecht leider muffig. Außerdem sehr voll, ich mag mir gar nicht vorzustellen was dort in der Ferienzeit los ist…

Hotel otherwise is good, spa facilities are in the Ensana Thermal hotel and are good, too. The breakfast we as very very basic for us. As Vegetarian there was just bread, rolls,and cereals. No toasters, no beans, no roasted tomatoes, waffles etc that you find in a normal breakfast. The rooms are not soundproof at all. You can hear the cleaners outside. You can hear next door closing a cupboard door or sneezing etc, not quiet rooms at all. Disappointed with the breakfast and the webs in the room, and lack of soundproofing in the rooms.

Breakfast was plentiful and had a great variety and the staff were great. Ide stay again but not in summer.

We stayed at this hotel recently, and overall, it left us with mixed feelings. The building itself is old-stylish, which can feel charming, and in general, it is kept clean. The staff is kind and welcoming, but everything moves very slowly. Communication can also be a challenge, as English is not spoken very well. Food is definitely not a strong point of the hotel. It doesn’t always feel fresh, and sometimes the vegetables seemed old—borderline spoiled. This part was quite disappointing. As for families, I would not recommend this place at all. Although the hotel advertises swimming pools, children are not allowed to play in them. They forbid bringing pool toys or even a ball, which makes the pool area very restrictive. Most of the other facilities are clearly aimed at adults, so the hotel should really market itself as an adults-only destination rather than as family-friendly. Another thing to note is that many guests come with their dogs. If you are allergic to dogs or not comfortable around animals, this will be an issue. To summarize: this is a quiet hotel for adults who want a slow-paced, calm stay, possibly with pets. But if you are a family with children, especially if you’re looking for pools and activities for kids, this is not the place for you.

The hotel location is excellent at Margaret island near the Japanese garden, very nice and relaxing to be in such place. The hotel feels very authentic. The staff were very nice to prepare us breakfast to -go on our last day because our flight was too early. The breakfast variety was also good. One point for improvement, consider installing window grille. Because our visit was during April not sure if there is a good air condition and air circulation.

We came for the F1 and the only complaint would be it is a far distance for metro lines and you have to grab a taxi or bus to get back on the island.
